Johannesburg - The family of Molemo Jub Jub
Maarohanye has denied claims that the disgraced hip-hop artist tried to commit
suicide in prison, The Star reported on Friday.

He will spend his first Christmas behind bars after being
sentenced to an effective 25 years' imprisonment after four schoolchildren were
killed in Soweto in 2010 when he was involved in a drag racing accident.

Maarohanye's family said the fact that he could appeal
against his sentence, gave him hope.

"I don’t even want to entertain that [suicide rumour]
because the boy knows there is a lot to be done and that there is still hope,”
said Mogosi Moleko, Maarohanye’s uncle.
